A control in a procedure is a check that shows the rule it rests on. Atlas cites a source for every fact and the regulation behind every control. The rule comes from a document the bank uploaded, or from the EU and German library in Atlas. A control is the bank's check, recorded in the procedure.
Where does the rule behind a control come from?
The built-in regulation library covers EU and German rules. Banks can also upload their own regulation documents, such as CBUAE guidance, and Atlas cites them like the bank's other documents. A control can also rest on one of the bank's own policies. Atlas does not include UAE regulation as a built-in library.
Who checks a control?
Compliance at the bank checks that each control rests on the right rule. The process owner then reviews the whole draft and approves the exact version they checked, and process excellence keeps the procedures current after that. Atlas records the citation; the judgement and the approval stay with the bank's people.
